ENGINEER’S CONTRIBUTION FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Carbon emission resulting in global warming and climate change
is now considered and recognized by the scientific community as
the number one threat to the survival of the plant and animal
species. We can minimize on the use of resources, develop
effective means to improve on energy efficiency, and enhance
on energy conservation; all these can be achieved immediately
with existing technology. Engineers can contribute in many areas
to shape the future resource and energy portfolio to help world’s
population to mitigate and adapt to climate change for our long
term survival.
